Re: Waitress position
(Re: 為“Reference”的簡(jiǎn)寫,意為“參考號(hào)”,及便于收件人一眼明了信件主題)
I am writing to express my interest in your recently advertised position for a waitress (你們最近登出廣告的). Enclosed with this letter is my resume(隨信附上我的簡(jiǎn)歷,這是一種常見(jiàn)的“倒裝”用法,能夠使句子平衡,更重要的是主語(yǔ)可以很方便地被后面的“定語(yǔ)從句”直接修飾), which has further details of my previous experience and qualifications (經(jīng)驗(yàn)與資歷).
Not only do my qualifications and work experience make me a perfect candidate for the job (不僅……., 而且……, 句首用的是一個(gè)絕妙的“倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)”), my personality (個(gè)性) is well suited to working as a (十分適合于從事……工作)waitress. I am a very friendly (注意:“友好的”這個(gè)詞必須帶“-ly”)person who can quickly establish rapport with people of all ages(與不同年齡層次的人建立關(guān)系). In my last waitress job, I had over a dozen repeat customers (回頭客)each day. And, the fast-paced environment (快節(jié)奏的環(huán)境)of waiting on tables suits me well, because I am keen on (喜歡) working under pressure. In fact, my former boss was surprised at both my incredible stamina and efficiency in dealing with customers’ orders(難以置信的在應(yīng)付顧客點(diǎn)餐方面的持久力與效率).
I would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience (在您方便時(shí)), to discuss the possibility of working at your restaurant. I can be reached at(注意英語(yǔ)表達(dá)“可以打…..電話與我聯(lián)系”的地道用法) 463-9234 during the days and 924-6868 after 6 pm.
Thank you for your consideration of my application. I look forward to meeting you in the near future. (這是求職信一個(gè)比較典型的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ),值得背誦和模仿)
Yours sincerely,
Martha Scott
